The Trust for America's Health (non-profit whose focus is health issues and disease prevention) just released their annual study of preparedness for major health emergencies: "Ready or Not: Protecting the Public's Health From Diseases, Disasters and Bioterrorism." Rates both the federal government (overall grade of D+), and each of the states individually.

Here's the executive summary. States were rated on 10 factors; this page, at the bottom, has links to each state's results.

Those living in states rated 2-out-of-10 might want to beef up their FAKs. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
